The Power-on Self Test (POST)  
The Power-on Self Test (POST) is a series of software-controlled  
diagnostic tests that run when you turn on or restart your Notebook  
PC. The software that controls the POST is installed as a permanent  
part of the Notebook PC’s architecture.  
Using POST to access BIOS and Troubleshoot  
During POST, you can access the BIOS settings or run  
troubleshooting options using the function keys of your Notebook  
PC. You may refer to the following information for more details.  
BIOS  
The Basic Input and Output System (BIOS) stores system hardware  
settings that are needed for system startup in the Notebook PC.  
The default BIOS settings apply to most conditions of your Notebook  
PC. Do not change the default BIOS settings except in the following  
circumstances:  
An error message appears onscreen during system bootup and  
requests you to run the BIOS Setup.  
You have installed a new system component that requires  
further BIOS settings or updates.  
WARNING: Using inappropriate BIOS settings may result to system  
instability or boot failure. We strongly recommend that you change  
the BIOS settings only with the help of a trained service personnel.  
Accessing BIOS

DVD-ROM Drive Information  
(on selected models)  
The DVD-ROM drive allows you to view and create your own CDs  
and DVDs. You can purchase an optional DVD viewer software to  
view DVD titles.  
Regional Playback Information  
Playback of DVD movie titles involves decoding MPEG2 video, digital  
AC3 audio and decryption of CSS protected content. CSS (sometimes  
called copy guard) is the name given to the content protection  
scheme adopted by the motion picture industry to satisfy a need to  
protect against unlawful content duplication.  
Although the design rules imposed on CSS licensors are many, one rule  
that is most relevant is playback restrictions on regionalized content. In  
order to facilitate geographically staggered movie releases, DVD video  
titles are released for specific geographic regions as defined in “Region  
Definitions” below. Copyright laws require that all DVD movies be  
limited to a particular region (usually coded to the region at which it is  
sold). While DVD movie content may be released for multiple regions,  
CSS design rules require that any system capable of playing CSS  
encrypted content must only be capable of playing one region.  
IMPORTANT! The region setting may be changed up to five times  
using the viewer software, then it can only play DVD movies for the  
last region setting. Changing the region code after that will require  
factory resetting which is not covered by warranty. If resetting is  
desired, shipping and resetting costs will be at the expense of the  
user.

Internal Modem Compliancy  
The Notebook PC with internal modem model complies with JATE  
(Japan), FCC (US, Canada, Korea, Taiwan), and CTR21. The internal  
modem has been approved in accordance with Council Decision  
98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal connection to the public  
switched telephone network (PSTN). However due to differences  
between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the  
approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of  
successful operation on every PSTN network termination point. In  
the event of problems you should contact your equipment supplier  
in the first instance.  
Overview  
on 4th August 1998 the European Council Decision regarding the  
CTR 21 has been published in the Official Journal of the EC. The CTR  
21 applies to all non voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling  
which is intended to be connected to the analogue PSTN (Public  
Switched Telephone Network).  
CTR 21 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment  
requirements for connection to the analogue public switched  
telephone networks of terminal equipment (excluding terminal  
equipment supporting the voice telephony justified case service)  
in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of dual tone  
multifrequency signalling.  
Network Compatibility Declaration  
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notified Body and  
the vendor: “This declaration will indicate the networks with which  
the equipment is designed to work and any notified networks with  
which the equipment may have inter-working difficulties”

Network Compatibility Declaration  
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: “This  
declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment  
is designed to work and any notified networks with which the  
equipment may have inter-working difficulties. The manufacturer  
shall also associate a statement to make it clear where network  
compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings.  
It will also advise the user to contact the vendor if it is desired to use  
the equipment on another network.”  
Up to now the Notified Body of CETECOM issued several pan-  
European approvals using CTR 21. The results are Europe’s first  
modems which do not require regulatory approvals in each  
individual European country.  
Non-Voice Equipment  
Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible  
as well as modems, fax machines, auto-dialers and alarm systems.  
Equipment in which the end-to-end quality of speech is controlled  
by regulations (e.g. handset telephones and in some countries also  
cordless telephones) is excluded.

1 National requirements will apply only if the equipment may use  
pulse dialling (manufacturers may state in the user guide that the  
equipment is only intended to support DTMF signalling, which  
would make any additional testing superfluous).  
In The Netherlands additional testing is required for series  
connection and caller ID facilities.  
Federal Communications Commission Statement  
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to  
the following two conditions:  
This device may not cause harmful interference.  
This device must accept any interference received, including  
interference that may cause undesired operation.  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the  
limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These limits are designed  
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in  
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can  
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference  
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that  
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment  
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,  
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the  
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of  
the following measures:  
88  
Notebook PC E-Manual  
 
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from  
that to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for  
help.  
WARNING! The use of a shielded-type power cord is required in order  
to meet FCC emission limits and to prevent interference to the nearby  
radio and television reception. It is essential that only the supplied  
power cord be used. Use only shielded cables to connect I/O devices  
to this equipment. You are cautioned that changes or modifications  
not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could  
void your authority to operate the equipment.
